American students have created a spoon that improves the taste of food.

A group of US students developed the Sugarware Spoon, which enhances the sweet taste without adding calories or chemicals. The cutlery has several convex parts on the underside that stimulate the taste buds that normally respond to sugar. They send signals to the brain that indicate the sensation of sweetness. It is not yet known whether the spoon will reach mass production. The creators believe that it will be especially useful for people with diabetes who are forced to diet.
